        Another hit-utility by  Hens Zimmerman & Julius Thyssen

                  Easy way to hunt down memory-leaks!

- Turns blue when situation becomes unstable (change in memory-usage)
- Turns black when memory situation's stabilized
- Marks and compares mem situations (try your right mouse-button!)

"A must have!" (P.C.Journal)
"... gives  you  memory-info in the blink of an eye, without using a lot
of memory itself like those large monitor-software packs." (Online World)
"Free?! Hey, these guys are great! This is what I needed!" (Power PC)
"It rulez the world!" (Immosins ltd)


Installation and use is almost self-explanatory:

No setup. Put the executable in a folder you like it to be, and run it.
Clicking on it with your right mouse-button will show you options.

Now, you wonder what you can see with this thingy? Well, we make use
of the memory-info Microsoft sends out to our polling, so how accurate
it is depends on them really...


                             THE READOUTS:

Meter 1:
A general idea of current memory utilization;
0% indicates no memory use and 100% indicates full memory use.

Meter 2:
What part of your physical memory (RAM) is in use;
100% means ALL physical memory is in use -> new memory requests
will be emulated with disk-swapping after that stage.

Meter 3:
What part of (and we quote MS now:) "bytes that can be described
in the user mode portion of the virtual address space of the
calling process" is in use. Knowing that Meminfo.exe itself
probably IS a or the calling process this meter could be very boguslike.

Meter 4:
The part of your swap-file that is in use.



This is Version 1.0 and there are no known bugs or complications.
We tested it on several different machines in more configurations.
It requires Windows9* (we haven't tried it in Windows NT yet)

         THE READOUTS IN DETAIL (Techies: go get a blanket! 8*)

The GlobalMemoryStatus function retrieves information about current
available memory. The function returns information about both physical
and virtual memory.

The MEMORYSTATUS structure contains information about current memory
availability. The GlobalMemoryStatus function uses this structure. 

typedef struct _MEMORYSTATUS { // mst  
    DWORD dwLength;        // sizeof(MEMORYSTATUS) 
    DWORD dwMemoryLoad;    // percent of memory in use 
    DWORD dwTotalPhys;     // bytes of physical memory 
    DWORD dwAvailPhys;     // free physical memory bytes 
    DWORD dwTotalPageFile; // bytes of paging file 
    DWORD dwAvailPageFile; // free bytes of paging file 
    DWORD dwTotalVirtual;  // user bytes of address space 
    DWORD dwAvailVirtual;  // free user bytes 
} MEMORYSTATUS, *LPMEMORYSTATUS; 

Members:

dwLength
Indicates the size of the structure. The calling process should set this
member prior to calling GlobalMemoryStatus. 

dwMemoryLoad
Specifies a number between 0 and 100 that gives a general idea of current
memory utilization, in which 0 indicates no memory use and 100 indicates
full memory use. 

dwTotalPhys
Indicates the total number of bytes of physical memory. 

dwAvailPhys
Indicates the number of bytes of physical memory available. 

dwTotalPageFile
Indicates the total number of bytes that can be stored in the paging file.
Note that this number does not represent the actual physical size of the
paging file on disk. 

dwAvailPageFile
Indicates the number of bytes available in the paging file. 

dwTotalVirtual
Indicates the total number of bytes that can be described in the user mode
portion of the virtual address space of the calling process. 

dwAvailVirtual
Indicates the number of bytes of unreserved and uncommitted memory in the
user mode portion of the virtual address space of the calling process.
